Rating: - Always great Sarah McLachlan
Closer, one of the best by Sarah McLachlan so far. Her voice has never sounded better!

Rating: - Brilliant as always
A great compilation. The inclusion of her earlier material really shows her growth as an artist. I already had all but the new material,but the new material alone is worth the price of admission. In 20 years I have never been disappointed by a Sarah Mclachlan album. She consistently releases stunningly beautiful high quality music.

Rating: - Closer Sarah
Definitely the best works of Sarah thus far. I own the entire Sarah McLachlan catalog, and I must say that unlike most artists, this is worth the purchase for the 2 new songs!!!

Rating: - Wonderful
There is something about Sarah McLachlan's music that has always made me feel good. If I am ever feeling anxious or depressed, I just put her on and I am instantly feeling better. I have been a huge fan since I was in highschool. Thanks for all the great years of music!!

Rating: - Close enough!
As a die hard fan of Sarah McLachlan's music I was happy to learn about this cd-set and I must say that this collection is really good.
First of all it includes all of Sarah's best known songs. The artwork is great and the pics inside the booklet are beautiful, most of them very rare.
But I do complain a little bit.
Why? Well, to me it feels like disc 2 of this set includes some fillers;
* Hold On (Radio Remix)
* I Will Remember You (Original Version)
* World on Fire (Radio Remix)
* U Want Me 2 (Radio Remix)
First of all, these so called radio remixes sound pretty much the same as the original versions.
Second of all, 3 of these 4 'extra songs' are on the 2nd disc twice!!
I for one would have prefferd more songs from Sarah's albums on this disc, like the beautiful 'I Love You' or 'Ordinary Miracle' from the 'Charlotte's Web' soundtrack plus some other rare recordings.
That would have made this collection even more perfect!
But... since Sarah and Arista allready gave us Rarities, B-Sides and Other Stuff vol. 2 eralier this year, I won't complain too much.

This collection is just perfect if you've just discovered Sarah.
If like me, you allready have all her other albums, it's just a nice bonus since there are 2 new recordings on it.
The booklet, like I said, is great with beautiful unknown pictures and all of the lyrics.

Rumour has it that Sarah will release a new (and loooooooooooooooooooong awaited) studio-album next year... I for one can't wait.
